Continue the Dream for Academic Excellence Scholarship Fund
Continue the Dream for Academic Excellence Scholarship was established in 2011 by SFSU staff and faculty to help students pursue their academic goals regardless of their immigration status. Since Fall 2011 to Spring 2025, 153 scholarships have been awarded to undocumented students and a total $131,800 has been distributed directly to students. Our goal is to continue to support as many students as possible year after year.

Since 2014 the SF Dream Team has had an annual fundraising effort for the Continue the Dream Scholarship called Swimming for Sueños. They raise $5,000-$15,000 a year by swimming from Alcatraz. This year Karla Castillo, one the scholarship founders, along with other community members will be participating in a swim from Alcatraz on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Our students need your support now more than ever! Help us achieve our goal once more by donating to this scholarship. For more information contact us at CTD@sfsu.edu.
The Dream Resource Center is open to all, and anyone interested in our activities and resources is welcome regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.
